World of Warcraft - Concept Artist (Character)

Even the most iconic characters, weapons, and armor in the World of Warcraft (WoW) began life in a sketchbook. Concept artists are absolutely critical to the vision of a game and the creative process as whole here at Blizzard Entertainment. We are looking for a character concept artist to join the World of Warcraft team. This is a hyper creative role for an artist with a playful imagination coupled with a high degree of artistic skill. You will be expected to take a seed of an idea and flesh out all aspects of the design. These designs may include anything from weapons or armor sets to any number of creatures and bosses. This role requires a strong sense of caricature, design, color theory, human and animal anatomy, weapons, armor and costume design, and the ability to both create in and push the WoW style.

Responsibilities

Create weapon, armor, creature, and character concepts in the WoW style.

Work in conjunction with the 3d character artists to create a high quality asset from beginning to finish.

Work with the art director, character lead and character artists to expand the world of our game.
